All valid points, but again: this was never part of the WCAG SC 2.1.1. 
Nowhere did it state that a page must use "standard" keystrokes. Only 
that there must be a way for keyboard users to operate things. The 
"change" in 2.1.1 understanding that happened was to make that clear.

Nobody is disputing that it isn't a problem, but there was never 
normative wording that said so.

Ditto for the need to be "discoverable".
